Possible areas of application

SIKA flow monitors measure low-viscosity liquid flow in pipelines. SIKA VM 100 piston flow switches are especially suitable for marine applications such as

• Cooling water monitoring
• Lubrication control
• Leakage monitoring

in marine engines and compressors.

Description

Piston principle
The flowing medium lifts the piston against the force of the stainless steel spring. This causes a permanent magnet located on the piston to change position and trip a reed switch. The switch output can be used to monitor the volume flow and check whether it drops below or exceeds a certain limit.
